As noted from the laundry list of medications above, you can buy medications to relieve, control or manage your symptoms, but please make no mistake you are not healing the body, you are masking the issue.

SO, what is the most important thing to realize?

Symptoms are a good thing, only IF you stop to pay attention, ask why and proceed to change your habits.

I know easier said than done. However, I also know….where there is a will there IS a way.

If you continue ignoring the symptoms, it will manifest into conditions and eventually disease.

Examining what you are eating is an important place to start when dealing with allergies. Start paying attention to how you feel after you eat certain foods – Stomach aches? Bloating? Headaches? Fatigue? Irritability? Also notice any outward symptoms such as rashes or hives that may appear.

Next, start adding nutrient dense foods and supplements to start the healing process of the body. Plant based foods, lots of veggies, essential fatty acids and nutrients to support the growth of good bacteria are a fantastic start!

You didn’t just all of a sudden manifest allergies. That took time, so the healing process will also take time.

Be patient. Anything worthwhile takes time, perseverance and hard work.
